what the heck is going on with the PS3 availabilty
of this game?

apparently it's out of print but the demand is still really high for the ps3 version and NOBODY has it in stock

amazon sold out new, $35+ usedbest buy sold out new and used in stores and onlinegamestop sold out new, sparsely used in stores, sold out used onlinetarget, toys r us, kmart, buy.com, gohastings, familyvideo all OOS (for ps3 version)half.com cheapest used ~30 (jumped up from lowest 24 from yesterdaygamefly used SOLD OUT

seriously if demand is this high (for the ps3 version) shouldn't they reprint it?

i'm only posting this cuz i been looking everywhere to get it cheap and got it from gamefly before they sold out yesterday. i got 3 @ 20 bux each cuz i'm going for a 4xLAN wheel/racing setup and already had 1 copy

The game has been hard to find for quite a while now. I would say only once every few months do I run into one in person. It's appealing to a limited crowd, so they didn't make hundreds of thousands of copies. It's kind-of like Atlus games.
